Ailes’ downfall testament to rising power of women

Huffington Post reported on the downfall of Fox News executive Roger Ailes following a sexual harassment lawsuit. Jennifer Berdahl, a UBC business professor and harassment and discrimination expert, was interviewed for the story.

Ailes stepped down from his position after numerous women at the network spoke up against his alleged actions.

“It’s great progress,” said Berdahl, who has served as an expert witness in discrimination trials. “There’s a lot more normalization of women’s voices. Women are legitimate equals. Someone you take seriously.”
